Yes I agree loved the fashion of late 70s to early 80s back then when we started high school we were too young to be Mods or Skinheads so the love in 1983-84 for use was Oxford shoes and Brogues, Sta Press trousers, Fred Perry's and Longsdale tops and Green Ma1 Flight Jackets and these wax pre Casual ohhh and tipped hair.
They have a completely original sound (which is almost impossible to have) Dexys Midnight Runners did it. Alas, I digress... The lead singer has such breathtaking stage presence... Can't take my eyes off of him. A truly, truly magnificent song and performance. Thanks for posting x
This song has that unique early 80s sound.. new romantic pop with a noticeable touch of ska too something Dexies midnight runners also pulled off as well..just brilliant
@Disco247 JoBoxers were one hit wonders in the U.S. in which "Just Got Lucky" was their only Billboard Hot 100 entry, peaking at #36. In the U.K., however, "Boxerbeat" is their biggest hit, peaking at #3 in 1983. "Just Got Lucky" reached #7 there, and "Johnny Friendly" reached #31. Was "Boxerbeat" even a single in the U.S.? Great song, regardless.
So remember this song when we first heard it in NZ. We had so much fun back then. Brilliant song.
I miss music and fashion like this!

Very catchy bass hook and great vocals. Well crafted song, thoroughly enjoyable to listen to. A classic of its time and still is👍
